Hello, Sorry you're feeling so bad with anxiety, I've been there myself. If you're not already you could do with talking to someone about it, to start to understand why you're feeling like that. It sounds like you have lots of adrenalin in you (caused by being anxious) and that's giving you symptoms like you describe. Can you speak to your Doctor? Take list of your symptoms and ask if you can be referred for therapy. You could also ask if they can do a general health check just to reassure you that it's mental/anxiety and not physical.

There are a number of things that I've done that also helped. Firstly, get out for a brisk walk that gets you out of breath - this gets rid of some of the adrenalin. Do something to distract yourself (read, music, exercise, friends, chat, whatever works for you). Read up on the internet about anxiety. This website: ntw.nhs.uk/pic/selfhelp/ has some good stuff on it, see the anxiety booklet.

Remember that these feelings (whilst being horrible) will not hurt you.

I also like to do guided relaxation try the Progressive Muscle Relaxation Script on this page (there are loads of variations but it's basically calm breathing and tense and relax the muscles up and down your body) therapysites.com/userfiles/... . That normally takes my anxiety down a notch or two.

Hope this is a help and something to get you started on getting better. And you will get better.

It's awful when you can't sleep and thoughts go whirling round and round in your mind and this just makes you more anxious and increases the physical symptoms. Leveller has some good suggestions . Go see your GP and see what they recommend.
